Aren't they the bee's knees? Love my M12 Fuel 1/2" impact. Honorable Mention to Aerokroil, also.

Heck yeah, I love my cordless impact. I have air as well but the cordless works great for most jobs and I don't get tangled up in the air line.

New wheels, thanks to @Don and @Matt @Discount Tire, Fuel Vector in gun metal, 17x9 -12 offset. Also added some self recovery, and knocked the pollen off with a quick wash.

I was wondering why you had used smaller tires Then I caught the front bumper and realized what I was looking at. Euro bumper and regular flairs. So that is how a Rubicon comes in South Africa? What are the rest of the drivetrain specs. Gears, T-case?

I dropped the top, got a set of ramps, laid out my tools in preparation for my AWE exhaust arriving tomorrow. Purchased a rockhard aluminum Patriot Series Full Width Front Bumper and a Warn winch....waiting for them to ship. Figured I may as well start with the mods while I'm breaking it in....340 miles so far.

Everything is typical Rubicon spec (4:1 TC and axles, next gen Dana44 axles (M210 front and M220 rear), about an inch and a bit taller than the Sahara version.

Following is what we do not get:
1. No high rise fender flares.
2. Slightly shorter axles (About 1/2 inch each side).
3. 255/75R17 wheels.
4. Euro spec front and rear bumpers.
5. One recovery point in the front.

What we gain:
1. Front and rear park distance control.
2. Rear fog lights.
3. 8.4" Upgraded Alpine infotainment system.
3. Aux switch panel.
4. Auto dip rearview mirror.
5. 2H, 4Auto, 4H and 4L but the TC and axles is 4:1 ratios.
6. 3.6 V6 Pentastar with 8-speed auto (Europe does not get the 3.6 Pentastar.
7. FAD (Front axle disconnect)
8. We have 4Auto so the front axle has outer CVs and not U-Joints (Huge advantage in my opinion).
9. Tow package.
10. Leather seats.
11. Dual zone climate control.
12. Soft top included (At least in my sales deal) I demanded it to be included.
13. Extra 5Gal of fuel tank capacity.
14. Satnav.
15. Full LED light package (All exterior and interior lights).
16. DC/AC built in inverter.

Not sure where you are going to put your G-screen. I don't recommend putting it above the mirror. I spent more time doing that than I did installing the rest of it.
Copy that, I watched the install video and it did seem a little involved... There are not many other places to put it though, by my knee is kind of low. I do like the location around the mirror, seems it would be visible from any door you open.

I will be installing my Genesis kit with G-screen in the next few weeks. The mirror spot does seem like the best place, but it does look like a bit of a pain. I'll be curious to know if you find a better spot.

ive thought about this for mine as well, what paint did you use ? thanks
I used the dupli color kit this time.
there was another kit I used on my 17 that was better but I couldn’t find it.
but this worked fine.
It’s a brush kit.
I used spray enamel good for 500 degrees for rotors.
